We are Mawer Brothers DBA NW Lifestyle Homes, contractor # NWLIFLH754QK. what our clients say... Wow! What a transformation! Thank you to Megan Atkinson of NW Lifestyle Homes, Javier, and his dedicated team. After 14 years in our house and 20+ years of a beautiful yard that had outgrown itself, it was time for a change. Megan approached our transformation desires with creative vision, thoughtful design, and an appreciated flexibility to update and revise along the way. After our initial meeting, we felt completely comfortable with Megan based on her warm, intelligent, and collaborative approach to landscape design. The resulting plans incorporated our existing hardscape elements with beautiful plantings, new lighting, and an open, more modern approach that accented our home beautifully. After the initial installation, we decided to add some additional plants for increased privacy and Megan worked with us to craft a solution and ensure the end result was exactly what we wanted. Megan partnered with Javier at J & R Landscaping for the installation, and we appreciated how well they worked together to bring the plans to life. Javier’s team was top notch, quick, and professional! They worked seamlessly to validate and flex plans as the project was completed and offered excellent input and advice on plant care and maintenance. We would recommend Megan and Javier to anyone looking for a beautiful, well-managed, and transformational landscape upgrade. mindy smith we value livability “Livability” is the suitability of a place for positive human experience, and at NW Lifestyle Homes, we build our homes and landscapes to maximize livability. Our homes are functional, adaptable, comfortable, and fun. Many new homes are beautiful to look at, but not all are truly livable. The livability of an NWLH home is often not fully appreciated until you — well — live in it. The most livable, well-designed homes have a combination of private and public spaces that flex and adapt through your life changes. They are comfortable and have abundant natural light and air, interesting textures and colors, and aesthetically pleasing architectural features. They are custom-designed to accommodate your specific level of entertaining and gathering. Good design also means well-scaled indoor spaces and outdoor living areas that can maximize fun and make you want to spend time in and enjoy your home every day. Let us help you design your home so you can live well. See Our Work meet the team Owner, Founder + Visionary michael burke Mike is the dreamer and visionary for NW Lifestyle Homes. Mike has been designing and building homes to maximize livability for more than 60 years. His innovative ideas provide the creative direction for the company. The greatest compliment you can give Mike is, "Your homes make a difference in our lives." When not working, Mike spends all of his free time on the job site. Owner + General Contractor mason mawer Mason is our builder, overseeing the entire construction process with a perfectionist's eye. Mason has an old-school, hands-on, get it done, tenacious work ethic that he learned growing up with twin brother Matt and their builder parents. With that foundation, Mason has been building homes and delighting homeowners for the last 20 years. Off the jobsite, Mason can be found floating in Neah Bay chasing Chinook and telling stories about the one that got away. CEO + Landscape Designer megan atkinson Megan brings leadership, planning, foresight, and landscape architectural design to NWLH. She aligns and prioritizes the strategy and systems for the team. Measure twice, cut once. On the creative side, Megan has designed landscapes throughout the Seattle area for over 20 years, and she strives to increase each homeowner's enjoyment/use of their outdoor living spaces. Megan has a B.A. in Economics from Bucknell University and an M.L.A. from the University of Washington. Since 2022, Megan has served on the City of Mercer Island Design Commission. With two postgrad kids and one in college, Megan and her husband are still getting used to life as empty nesters. COO phil singleton Phil comes to NWLH with 50 years of working and business experience. Phil and his wife owned and operated an award-winning remodeling company for 25 years. Phil is calm, cool, and collected, and he operates with no drama. Phil has extensive skills, and he is a natural mentor, a builder of teams, a solver of problems, a trained machinist, and his proverbial “toolbox” is overflowing with sharp tools. Phil also has a penchant for cleaning and taking care of things so they last and operate as intended. On the weekends, Phil spends time with his family and 5 adorable grandchildren. Lead Designer matt mawer As the interpreter of Michael's vision, Matt embraces the idea for each project, adds his own unique style, and crafts original home designs for NWLH. Together, Matt and Michael test boundaries and create a new normal for residential design and livability in the northwest. In addition to being fluent in Michael-ese, Matt has 20 years of architectural design experience, a B.Arch. from Washington State University and a horribly misguided belief of one day joining the professional golf tour. Buyer + Selection Designer meg zook Meg has recently relocated to SoCal, but we are incredibly grateful for the laughs, the tears, and all the times in between! We miss you, Meg! Designer gui ribeiro Born and raised in Brazil, Gui brings an international spirit to our team. His homeland's vast tradition in architecture, design, and music informs his work. After living in San Diego for six years where he received a BA in Architecture from Woodbury University, Gui relocated to the PNW. Gui provides a fresh perspective, a “can do” attitude, the ability to illustrate ideas in various formats, and an interest in how things are constructed. New thoughts on how to use Gui’s skills occur every day and run the gamut from exterior renderings to construction details. He generates the types of drawings that we have wanted to present to clients as well as our own construction team for a long time. Gui loves surfing, snowboarding, hiking, BBQ/cooking, watching soccer, and reading. Draftsman mike graham Working quietly backstage, Mike drafts all plans (floor plans, framing plans, roof plans, electrical plans, sections, and elevations) as skillfully and efficiently as our designers and engineers can provide them. Mike, who works remotely from Oregon, is steady, accurate, and always eager to help. Not a newcomer to this bunch, he has been drafting for the Burkes and the Mawers for about 25 years.
